I served in the Navy for 20 years. Been on the Arizona numerous times throughout my career. Their is absolutely no other place in the world that makes chills run up my spine. If you have never been, it is a must in your lifetime to go and see this piece of our history.


RIP "SHIPMATE'S" Your country is proud of you.

Evey time one of the three carriers I was stationed on pulled into or out of Pearl Harbor I voluntered for "Manning The Rails" to show my respect.

I also manned the rails, and was fortunate enough to be port side as we came into harbor. I'll never forget the order to salute as we passed the memorial, and the way I felt.

I returned 10 years later and had the same chills, and deep respect for those souls.

Thanks for sharing the video!

Very cool video, thanks for sharing. I was in the Navy from 83 to 87. I manned the rails on 3 occasions pulling into Pearl Harbor. Once on the USS Kitty Hawk and Twice on the USS Ranger. RIP my squid brothers.

I was in the Navy from 80-84 and also manned the rails when we would pull into Pearl. It blows me away that even us Navy guys never knew this.
Very moving to say the least!

Very somber place for sure.  Just goes to show you what their shipmates meant to them.

USN 75-79. I never new that either. Every once in a while I see a Pearl Harbor Survivor license plate on a car. I feel honored to see the driver is alive and well and reflect on Dec 7 1941 a day which truly was a day of infamy. Their numbers are getting fewer and fewer let alone those who served on the Arizona. Thanks for sharing.
